APOSTROPHE: "IN YOU OH LORD" BY NIEL

When my strength is failing,

I call upon the Lord,

The Maker of heaven and earth.

When my soul is weary,

I wait upon the Lord to rescue me,

To plead my cause

And set me free from every curse.

Rescue me from the den of the destroyers.

As I lift up my voice,

Hear my prayers, O Lord.

Deliver me in my trials

And preserve my soul.

Never let me be ashamed.

Let Your will be done upon my life.

Make me a living testimony

And reveal Your purpose in me.

Let Your power elevate my soul.

In this dark moment, when hope seems lost,

Rebuild me and make me Your own.

In You, O Lord, do I place my trust.
